Lucky husband

Bai Yao suppressed the slight embarrassment in his heart, and asked directly: "Zhiwen, Ning, do you treat brother Jin from your Uncle Li's family a little differently?"

This remark was relatively reserved, but they both understood the meaning contained in it. It is self-evident what it means to be different from other people's brothers without relatives or reasons.

Bai Zhiwen's body became stiff in an instant, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent. Bai Yao couldn't help but sighed softly.

"...No" said so, but the pause before Bai Zhiwen's answer had already explained some of his inner activities at this time, and he suddenly regretted hearing his mother say these things.

To be honest, he does have some differences with Brother Jin from Uncle Li’s family, but he feels that the difference is not what his mother understands or thinks, but that every time he sees Brother Jin’s smile, he feels better. It's just a share, it's not the same thing as his mother said.

Seeing that her son still didn't seem to be very enlightened, Bai Yao thought about it, and directly told him the content of her conversation with Jiang Zhiyun.

In order to be able to see the change in Bai Zhiwen's expression, Bai Yao specially changed the angle, and really noticed the change in his son's expression after listening to what she said.

To be honest, Bai Yao felt a little bit sour in her heart, but seeing her son, who had become more and more dull since her husband's death, rarely behaved like an ordinary 15-year-old boy, she suppressed that bit of sourness.

Brother Jin is a good boy, Yunniang taught him very well, except that it is difficult for him to conceive, there is no other point to be picky about.

In fact, it is a wrong rumor that everyone said that a brother can only have one child in a lifetime. In fact, it is not true. Bai Yao once heard an old doctor say that a brother's childbirth is similar to a woman's, but after giving birth, he has to be more careful. Nursing care, as long as there is no problem, you can have a second or third child.

The reason why people in the world have such a stereotyped impression is because many brothers either marry into that kind of poor family and work every day, or enter the backyard of a rich family as playthings. Whether it is the former or the latter, it is not easy to raise. good body.

Bai Yao's thoughts developed in other directions for a while, and then he pulled him back in time, and continued to talk to Bai Zhiwen about Brother Jin: "In short, your Uncle Li and Aunt Li planned to go to the county town and start giving money to Brother Jin. From the looks of it, if you really have some thoughts about Brother Jin, tell your mother, based on the relationship between your mother and your Third Aunt Li, you should be able to stop your Third Aunt Li from getting engaged to Brother Jin within two or three years."

"Zhiwen, I believe you can also see that your Uncle Li and the others dote on Brother Jin very much. If you want to marry Brother Jin, you have to work hard and strive to get back from the exam as soon as possible, so that we can go to the door to propose marriage. .”

"There are also Mingde boy, Mingli boy, Kang'er and brothers Jin, you have to get on good terms with them, in case your Uncle Li doesn't want to marry Jin to you, they can talk to you for you .”

Bai Yao's last sentence was actually just to make fun of his son, and of course he wanted to mention him a little bit. They all said what the parents ordered and the matchmaker's words. The only people who can decide Li Mingjin's marriage are his father Li Chengshi and his mother Jiang Zhiyun. , the other may be Brother Jin's grandparents, and now these two old people have a good impression of Bai Zhiwen, and when their son proposes a marriage, they should not be rejected by the Li family.

Bai Zhiwen's mind was still thinking about why Brother Jin should start seeing each other at such a young age, but when he suddenly heard words like marrying Brother Jin and proposing marriage, his ears turned red immediately.

Immediately, Bai Zhiwen raised his head to look at his mother, and pursed the corners of his mouth: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, if someone hears it, it will be bad for Jin and Brother Jin."

"Okay, it's my mother who made a mistake. I won't mention this in the future." Bai Yao sighed in his heart.

Since her son hadn't realized what he was thinking, Bai Yao didn't say anything about him anymore. Anyway, she would pay attention to Jiang Zhiyun's movements in the past two years, and if Zhiwen still had this attitude two years later, she would talk about it.

Afterwards, Bai Yao left Bai Zhiwen's room, and the room became quiet again, but Bai Zhiwen's heart became lively, and several voices quarreled in his head, expressing their opinions.

I really don't know why his mother came here and said these inexplicable words to him, which made him unable to calm down now. He knew all the words in the book in front of him, but at this moment, the combination of them made Bai Zhiwen confused. Unable to understand, he grabbed a handful of hair irritably, made the neat bun a little frizzy, then closed the book and planned to go out for a walk.

The most common thing Bai Zhiwen does when he goes out is to fetch water from the village center with the pole and bucket under the eaves, and this time is no exception. The direction went.

The land in the east of the village still has no other people building houses here, so now the closest to the center of the village is Li Chengli’s newly built yard, followed by the Li’s yard, and then the Bai’s house is the same as that of Li Erye’s. Houses, the houses of the two families are relatively small and close to each other, built side by side, and the yards of the two families are about the same distance from the center of the village.

In the past, when Bai Zhiwen wanted to fetch water, he would walk out of his yard directly, pass by the gate of Li's yard, and go to the big locust tree in the center of the village.

In addition to this road, which can go to the center of the village under the big pagoda tree, there is another road that is slightly detoured, which is to pass through the courtyard of Li Erye's house and the window on the left side of Li's house.

It has been several years since he came back to Shanghe Village, and Bai Zhiwen may have only walked this road seven or eight times. When he passed by, he always wanted to look into the window on the left side of Li's house, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything every time. Because these windows are basically half closed in the afternoon.

This time, just as Bai Zhiwen took two steps, he saw a small figure behind the window, and he was trying to jump up and close the window.

Bai Zhiwen's pace paused, and he stopped just like that to watch Li Mingjin close the window of his parents' room with two or three jumps, and then Li Mingjin ran to his own room next door.

Just now when Li Mingjin closed the window, he noticed someone on the road outside, because he closed the window very quickly at that time, so he didn't see clearly who was outside.

When he got under the window of his own room, Li Mingjin realized that the person standing outside was the elder brother of the Bai family next door, Bai Zhiwen.

Since Li Mingjin saw clearly that Bai Zhiwen had a pole and a bucket in his hand, he thought that the other party was going out to fetch water, so he smiled and waved to Bai Zhiwen, then jumped a few times and closed the window of his own room.

Standing on the empty road, Bai Zhiwen looked at the three tightly closed windows on the left side of Li's house, frowned slightly, and looked a little dazed, as if Brother Jin's smile just now was still in front of his eyes.

Bai Zhiwen suddenly thought of what his mother said just now, Uncle Li and Aunt Li, they want to show Brother Jin a boy of the right age, if they meet a suitable boy, they will probably make an engagement for Brother Jin, after the engagement, the next thing is After getting married, brother Jin's name will immediately become a certain Li family, and they will have children with others.

As Brother Jin grows up, Bai Zhiwen sees Brother Jin less and less often. After their family moves to the county, the number of times will be even less. When Brother Jin gets married, he may not have the chance to see him again right...

Bai Zhiwen squeezed the pole and bucket in his hand, after thinking about it, he turned around and took the usual road to the center of the village. When he passed by the gate of Li's courtyard, he glanced at Li's courtyard. The bullock carts stacked with luggage blocked his view, so he had no choice but to give up.

At this time, after Li Mingjin made sure that the windows of several rooms had been closed, he ran to the yard and called his mother to check the things at home and the luggage to be taken away one last time.

There is no one in the house for a long time, the windows are closed to prevent dust, and the second is to prevent theft. In the countryside, there are no soldiers patrolling at night. Opening the windows is the same as inviting others to come to the house to steal things. Jiang Zhiyun went in and checked again doors and windows.

Finally came the day when Li Chengshi and his family moved out. Old man Li, old lady Li, Li Chengzhi, and Li Chengli all went to the yard to see them off. Today Li Chengshi moved, Li Chengli and Bai Xiuhe didn't go to the rice noodle shop in the morning, and the shop was temporarily closed for half a day.

Looking at everyone with sad faces, Li Chengshi couldn't laugh or cry: "Father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, we just moved to the county, and the distance is very close. Parents, you have also lived in the county, and you know that you want to come back. Take it easy."

Then, he made a small joke: "Father and mother, if you are tired of living in the village and don't want to go to the eldest brother's place, you can come to our place, and Yunniang and I have furnished the rooms of your two elders. "

"What nonsense are you talking about, my parents are going to live in the county for a while, and your sister-in-law and I will definitely accompany them, how can I let my parents go to your place?" Li Chengzhi smiled and hammered Li Chengshi's shoulder, "I am not reluctant You, you used to come back once or twice a month, and I can't bear to part with our well-behaved and sensible Brother Jin and our smart Kanger."

Bai Xiuhe and Mrs. Li also thought the same way. Everyone was used to Li Chengshi being away for a long time. After he took his wife and children away, there would be one adult and two children missing, and the courtyard of Li's house would be much deserted.

The two sisters, Li Mingchun and Li Mingxia, have been embroidering with Jiang Zhiyun for so many years, and they have basically graduated from the teacher. They waited until everyone had agreed and came out from behind the adults, and took out the moving gifts they made—four pillowcases.

The three-bedroom family of four happened to be one person. Li Chengzhi and Jiang Zhiyun wore beige silk satin with matching auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on it. It looked elegant and elegant. Li Mingjin wore light green silk satin with a row of bamboo embroidered on the edge. Fresh and natural, Li Mingkang's is light yellow silk and satin. Children like tigers, so they embroidered a tiger on each side of the pillowcase.

Jiang Zhiyun accepted the gifts from the two sisters, touched their heads and said: "Mingchun, Mingxia, if you two sisters encounter problems with embroidery at home in the future, you can go directly to the county to find me, or you can wait until I and Mingxia come together." Ask again when your third uncle returns to the village, the kung fu at hand must be practiced and cannot be wasted."

In recent years, Jiang Zhiyun has been very concerned about the two girls, almost treating her niece like a daughter. She hopes that their future life will be better and better.
